CHICAGO, Ill, July s-Wheat operators
began buying quite actively on curb this morn
ing and continued their operations 10 the regu-
lar board. Trading opened much more brissly
than for several days past. August started &C
higher at - c, and sold up to y C. Crop dis
patches recruiting damage by srasshoppers and
bad weather were accountable for share OF
